Bike Share Permit

On This Page

Overview

The City of St. Louis is permitting qualified companies, organizations, vendors, or other entities to design, build, operate, maintain, manage, and market a modern bike share system through a network of publicly-accessible bicycles located throughout the city.

Ideally, this system would enable the public to access shared bicycles available in the public right-of-way or on public or publicly-accessible private property as an extension of the public transportation system and as a new mobility option for residents and visitors to our city.

This system could be dockless, with free-standing bikes that don’t require racks or stations; station-based, where bikes are checked out from a station and returned to another station; or a blend of the two system types. The system is anticipated to be available to the public 24-hours per day, 7 days per week.
